If you mount the first iso file, e.g. "mount -o loop,ro /mnt/cdrom 
/path-to-iso/yarrow-i386-disc1.iso" and read through the README file, it 
has directions for creating a directory from the ISOs for an NFS-based 
installation.  However, substitute "Fedora" where you find "RedHat" 
referenced in the directions.
